Douluo Dalu: Every Breath Steals Tang San's Women

Chapter 126: The Terrifying Void Mantis

Hearing that Lu Chen wanted to hunt the Void Mantis to absorb its spirit ring and Spirit Bone, Titan Giant Ape rebuked him irritably: "Lu Chen, you really are wishful thinking!"

"Is the Void Mantis that easy to hunt?"

"With its ability to tear through space at will, neither Big Brother nor I have any good way to deal with it!"

Sky Azure Bull Python said in a deep voice: "For A Rou, we have to try. If the Void Mantis came for the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger’s evil god pearl, it definitely won’t retreat on its own until it gets it!"

"Even we don’t have complete confidence in whether we can kill this Void Mantis."

"Er Ming, Domain suppression..."

"Slow Domain!"

As his voice fell, Titan Giant Ape also unleashed his Domain ability: "Gravity Domain!"

A deep cyan light erupted from within Sky Azure Bull Python, and an earthy yellow light erupted from within Titan Giant Ape.

The two-colored lights spread rapidly, enveloping the location of the Void Mantis.

The Void Mantis showed not a hint of panic. It waved its scythe-like blades, easily slicing open the space in front of it, and then entered the spatial rift.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished from where it had been standing!

The spreading Slow Domain and Gravity Domain simply hit empty air.

Seeing the Void Mantis dive into a spatial rift again, Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed, and he felt a sense of hair-raising dread.

He instantly released his mental force, spreading it in all directions to carefully sense any abnormalities in the space.

He let go of Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing and instructed them with a grave expression: "Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, the Void Mantis’s target is me—it’s the evil god pearl on me. You two must get far away. This Void Mantis’s abilities are bizarre and impossible to guard against. Only by getting as far away from me as possible will you be safe."

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing knew their own weakness; at this moment, not only could they not help, but they might even become a burden.

So as not to drag Lu Chen down, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing ran far away together, occasionally looking back at Lu Chen, the worry in their eyes too thick to be dissolved.

Not long after Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing left, Lu Chen’s mental force suddenly detected an extremely strange fluctuation in the space behind him.

He turned around quickly to look, only to see that the space had already been torn open.

Lu Chen reacted extremely swiftly. He raised his right hand, summoning his Dark Gold Terrorclaw. White bone armor quickly emerged from beneath his skin, tightly fitting his palm, and as his fingers twitched, five blades over a foot long sprang out.

The next instant, an extremely cold blade light slashed out from the rift.

The extreme sharpness made Lu Chen’s eyelids twitch, and he felt chilled all over, as if the blade were already pressed against his neck.

He quickly raised his right hand, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw bloomed with light, colliding with that cold blade light thanks to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw’s terrifying power.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed in the air, and wild, chaotic energy scattered, tearing through the air and emitting a series of ghostly wails.

With Lu Chen as the center, the ground all around was torn into deep ruts by the wild energy.

Lu Chen could not escape unscathed either; his clothes were grazed by some of the energy and instantly became tattered, making him look like a beggar.

Through those tattered holes, one could see Lu Chen’s fair skin and his solid abs and chest muscles.

Fortunately, his skin’s defensive ability was extremely strong; after the blade light was blocked, the scattered energy was not enough to tear his skin.

Discovering the Void Mantis had attacked Lu Chen again, the two beast kings, Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, roared and rushed over.

Facing the menacing beast kings, the Void Mantis retreated back into the spatial rift again, not confronting them head-on at all.

Clearly, the Void Mantis possessed extremely rich combat experience and knew how to use its own strengths to attack the enemy’s weaknesses.

In a direct confrontation, it would certainly not be a match for the two beast kings, Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.

Once it emerged from the spatial rift, it would first have to face the suppression of the Slow Domain and Gravity Domain, which would greatly reduce its strength.

Thus, the Void Mantis simply hid within the spatial rift, waiting for the moment the enemy revealed a flaw to come out and reap the harvest.

By the time Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape arrived at Lu Chen’s side, the Void Mantis had long since vanished, and even the spatial rift was gradually healing.

Titan Giant Ape angrily pounded the ground with his fist: "Why can’t this Void Mantis come out and have a proper fight with me!"

"You hiding coward, come out!"

Titan Giant Ape’s provocation received no response.

The Void Mantis was like an extremely calm assassin; it didn’t move unless necessary, but when it did, it was a guaranteed kill!

Lu Chen, Sky Azure Bull Python, and Titan Giant Ape stood in a triangular formation, each guarding a direction, wary of a sudden attack from the Void Mantis.

However, despite all their precautions, they ultimately failed to guard against the Void Mantis.

Titan Giant Ape suddenly let out a pig-like howl, his voice deafening, like rolling thunder.

Then he clutched his bleeding butt and stood in place, jumping up and down, shaking the entire earth with every tremor.

Just a moment ago, the Void Mantis had opened a big eye on him; it tore open a spatial rift and slashed Titan Giant Ape’s chrysanthemum with one blow.

For any animal or Spirit Beast, the chrysanthemum could be called a fatal weak point.

As the King of the Forest, Titan Giant Ape’s skin had extremely powerful defensive capabilities, and even the Void Mantis, also a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, could not easily breach his defense.

But if the Void Mantis attacked Titan Giant Ape’s chrysanthemum, then Titan Giant Ape truly couldn’t withstand it.

Sky Azure Bull Python watched Titan Giant Ape clutching his bleeding butt, and that miserable appearance made him furious: "Void Mantis, you are also a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast. If you want to fight, then fight; don’t resort to such despicable acts of stabbing from behind!"

Just as his voice fell, Sky Azure Bull Python also let out a howl.

Because the Void Mantis had caught him off guard, tearing open space and slashing Sky Azure Bull Python’s tail.

A long, narrow wound appeared on Sky Azure Bull Python’s tail, and blood immediately spurted out.

This Void Mantis was simply terrifying!

With this elusive spatial ability, the two beast kings, Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape—both hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts—were actually being played around by it.

Seeing this, Lu Chen’s sword-like eyebrows knitted tightly: ’There’s no other way. As long as the Void Mantis keeps hiding, we have no way to deal effective damage to it. We must lure it out, and that requires bait...’

Thinking of this, Lu Chen first treated the injuries of Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape: "First Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Recovery!"

Streams of blue mist enveloped Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, and the wounds that had been slashed open on their bodies were rapidly healing.

Once the injuries were basically recovered, Lu Chen took the evil god pearl out of his Storage Soul Tool: "Void Mantis, is this the evil god pearl you want?"

"We really have no way to deal with you. Why don’t we reconcile? I will give this evil god pearl to you, but you must leave after you get it!"

After saying this, Lu Chen threw the evil god pearl out.

At the same time, Lu Chen transmitted his voice to Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape using his mental force: ’As soon as the Void Mantis appears, immediately cast your Domains on it to slow down its movements so it can’t return to the spatial rift in time!’
